Celebrations bring joy and togetherness.

I am writing this in October 2021, as we journey through a month of celebration with the On Purpose Woman Global Community’s 21st Year Anniversary and our kind leader Ginny Robertson’s 70th birthday. These are major achievements and worthy of our very best cheerleading,

How can we enhance more Hoopla in our day?

Hoopla… just saying that word feels playful. The dictionary defines it as excited commotion.

What acts of celebration can we invite in on a regular basis?

Each of us celebrates the day of our birth each year and those of our loved ones and friends. It has a traditional feeling to it. Then we might have an anniversary, religious event, or something of significance annually that we add merriment to. We gather to bring joy to each other, I believe; it is love in action.

Ihave always gathered people together in celebration. I would hold a lunchtime disco in elementary school for music, dancing, and fun. As an adult, I have celebrated calendared holidays and ‘just because’holidays, Blessingways, Harvest Festivals, and Book Launches.

I like the idea of celebrating life in its rich tapestry and finding ways of increasing celebrating as a way of living. Living purposefully in a higher awareness of proclaiming joy, togetherness, recognition, and praise.

What micro celebrations and opportunities are seeking you to bring more Hoopla to them?

know each morning when I wake, I celebrate my breath and the new day, As many may not have woken this morning. This in itself is a blessing… can I get a hoopla?

Many of us are on a personal, professional, and spiritual growth path. We signed up for this life class,
perhaps inthe celestial realms; we perhaps even have the T-Shirt to prove it!

The truth is:
Life is both messy and miraculous.
Mundane and magnificent.
Multi-faceted, multi-layered, multi-complex, and a place where miracles happen.

We can find ourselves on the mouse wheel more times than at the top of, the mountain. This is part of many of our journeys, bringing a higher viewpoint to take us out of our set-point way of being, Changing patterns and behaviors, Reaching more summits.

Every moment is new, pristine, and precious… can get a hoopla?

For those of us on this dynamic, never dull, growth path, our awareness is like our guardian angel, Listen, she may just be whispering: this new moment has never happened, how wonderful. What will you choose?

When we shift our perception and drop the baggage and strict rules that we have donned, we give ourselves an inner sense of celebration, Healing and changing

lifelong patterns are huge celebrations.
Celebrations of You.

The other day, someone spoke rudely and belittled me. Instead of reacting like I might have in the past, I paused, took a 5-second heart, mind, and soul check, and said to myself, not mine, theirs. How they reacted to me, I left with them, and went about my day. Hoopla!

Please honor yourself when you notice these shifts because they are huge… life-transforming. There may not be fanfare, but you can create that for yourself if you want.

At times Iwas a serious child and teenager. Motherhood allowed me to play again, you know, disguised as if it was for the children. But hey, I had fun! As I age, I give myself more permission to be silly, zany, lighthearted, and on the keen lookout for joy and wonder.

We work hard at this grown-up life with much more seriousness than is healthy or necessary. I feel the divine worthiness of joy, celebration, and merrymaking as a natural way of being. I practice daily. I claim this as a path worthy of taking.

Where can you find more HOOPLA in your day?
